Armed intruder forces his way into East Bluff house

PEORIA — A man with a gun looking for someone named "Isaiah" apparently forced his way into the wrong East Bluff house over the weekend.

A 28-year-old woman who moved into a home in the 700 block of East Thrush Avenue a few weeks ago reported the incident to police shortly after the incident at 6:30 p.m. Sunday.

She told police a man wearing a hoodie that hid his face was walking up her front steps just as she was about to leave the house. She tried to close the door as he approached, but he forced his way inside and displayed a handgun.

The intruder asked, "Where's Isaiah?"

After he was told no one with that name lived there, he pointed the gun at the victim and told her to get down on the ground. The intruder then fled on foot.
